I'm not sure:  I've been playing around and I don't see anything obvious
with the applications I've tried, either.

Also, I found that my systems give me an error message when I (re)installed
applesystemfonts:  

Unpacking replacement applesystemfonts ...
grep: /etc/X11/XftConfig: No such file or directory
Setting up applesystemfonts (1.0-4) ...
grep: /etc/X11/XftConfig: No such file or directory
All done.  You may need to restart X to get antialiased fonts

You may not have gotten this message, though:  I'm using XFree86-4.3, so
this may be related to that.

I did have the following in my .xinitrc:

xfontpath install /sw/lib/X11/fonts/applettf/
xfontpath enable

I tried replacing it with your suggestion, but I can't see any 
difference.  Which Apple fonts should I see in X11?
